Dog & Puppy Training Services
We can help you with a variety of puppy and adult dog training goals, from puppy socialization and life skills to problems such as jumping up, pulling on leash, crate training, settling at home or in public and more.
One-on-one dog training appointments can be in-home, at parks or trails, or virtual (video call). For puppy socialization purposes we can arrange puppy play dates between clients.
If you need help with a behavioural concern such as aggression, fear, or reactivity please look at our options for behaviour support as these issues are not able to be addressed through our training services below.

“Thank you so much for all your support and help with our rescue puppy. We couldn’t have gotten through this experience without the puppy training course or the doggy daycare. Phoebe loves seeing her friends weekly and enjoys all the play. Christina and Kat has helped our family so much and always answering questions. I felt so supported and will continue to work with them. If you have adopted a dog please consider reaching out to them for any questions or support, it was the best thing we did. Thank you girls so much!”
